Cross-Checking Names With Registries Shouldn't Cost Schools Money, Boulder Says

Volunteers at Boulder Valley's schools will soon have to go through a different kind of background check.

Their names will be cross checked with a sex-offender registry.

The newspaper reported parent Eric Maxfield started the discussion about stricter background checks this school year after his son returned from his first day of kindergarten at Louisville Elementary School and mentioned volunteers in his classroom. Maxfield said he wanted to know more about the adults working with his son and learned the district doesn't have a blanket background-check policy for its volunteers.
